    Hi Irina, I'm doing fine, in fact I'm doing much better these days. The Embassy finally sent in the request for the passports! The process to send them from Uzbekistan is frustrating, and costly. But it is finally done, and it only took 22 months. CIC needs to get their house in order, this...

    I called the Embassy once. It was a 4:56 recorded message, and it wasn't until the final 30 seconds that they said they don't take personal calls. Call the CIC centre (its the tel# they give you on the website) Ask them what you should do. You may also wish to try and ask you MP to look into...

    My next visit to the centre of the universe will be when they finally arrive in Canada. I was thinking of a small gathering,and take the night flight afterwards. Of course I don't know how tired they'll be, so it may be a very short stop for them. I on the other hand could always spend the...

    Hi Irina, She did her second medical in late March2012. I was told the time it takes to process the medical is 3 months. If there are no problems with the medical, then it gets sent to the embassy from the UK, and that takes 4 weeks. Where the other days are lost I don't know. I really think...

    I paid the right of residence fee about 8 months ago. I was hoping it was nearing the end but it hasn't helped at all. :( The time varies, I know two couples that took 15 and 18 months respectively. If the medical has expired, you can add on another 3 months from the day of her examination. ???

    Kinda like a mail order groom! :D .............................. ::) Irina, call CIC here in Canada, and ask them. I recall them telling me nothing more is required unless they ask for it. But you should call to be sure.

    I was thinking of calling the Embassy, is it worthwhile? I really want to hear first hand where my file is, but I am concerned that enquiring may cause further delays. What was your experience?

    Checking my paperwork I see that CPC-M sent me their one and only letter on January 25th saying I was eligible, so I guess that puts me 4-5 months behind you. :(

    Hey that's nice to see. I guess you're not going to be waiting along with me after all. If I read it correct, you mailed everything to CIC in August 2011? Boshetunmai, what is the nationality of your spouse?

    As far as I'm aware no it won't delay. they're basically going to the CAIRS thingy without all the paperwork. One thing I need to add about my case is that during my last visit,I'm not so sure I had an accurate answer. The first time I went it took almost two weeks. The second time it took...

    Ask if they they have a immigration specialist working in the office. I have noticed they always seem to have different people working in the office the times I have dropped in. It's possible you just got some dolt who doesn't know anything about the sponsorship process. If you still get nowhere...

    I never bothered to finish reading the letter they sent me after 4 months of me first applying.I got as far as you ''didn't fill in some area on the form.'' I made an appointment with my MP's office, and I had my answer in 15 minutes. So I'd recommend skipping the stupid CAIPS or CRAPS, save...

    #1 The medical is valid for 12 months. #2 They will call for a interview if they feel your relationship is not genuine, and this will be based on what info you have provided. #3 The two cases I mentioned above were both processed from the Embassy in Moscow. So you could be there for 12...

    Anna that is very surprising it was done so fast, you both got lucky. I'm into my 14th month with no end in sight. I ordered that CRAPS thing as well. It took them over two months to tell me they needed a thirty day extension. About two more months passed and they sent me another letter...

    What!? ??? I was in Toronto yesterday for a few hours... you never showed up. ::) Well it's been 1 year so far in our wait. However the CDN Embassy did request more passport photo's and a new local police clearance. She had done one before early on in the sponsorship process....... is...
